Primary Standards Selection Guide
Primary Standards for Temperature Calibration
| The defining instruments of the ITS-90 (International Temperature Scale of 1990) are Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometers (SPRT) and ITS-90 fixed point cells. SPRTs are calibrated in fixed point cells to provide the highest possible temperature accuracy. Primary standards offered by Fluke Calibration include Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometers, ITS-90 fixed point cells and all of the equipment and services necessary for calibration traceable to the ITS-90, including, furnaces, baths, resistance bridges, and standard resistors. |  |
